Nolte: Report — CNN’s Cooper, Wallace, Tapper on ‘Chopping Block
Breitbart ^ | 03/01/2024 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 03/01/2024 8:41:31 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

CNN’s new CEO is looking at the ratings (he must have an electron microscope), looking at the salaries of his overpaid anchors, and thinking it’s time to make some changes.

InTouch reports, “New CEO Mark Thompson is preparing ruthless cuts to remake the network as ratings plunge — leaving Anderson Cooper, Chris Wallace, Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper facing dates with the axman, a source says.”

This is what I found fascinating — replacing these liars and basement-rated losers with Megyn Kelly — someone who actually attracts a sizable audience:

Sources say [Thompson] has no use for the star system and the hefty salaries that come with it. He’s reportedly seeking to replace marquee names with talent who built their audiences on social media — including former FOX and NBC anchor Megyn Kelly, who has 1.72 million subscribers on YouTube.

CNN worked TIRELESSLY to vanquish Donald Trump (as they would have and did to any and every other Republican).

Instead, they have been vanquished. Their influence...gone!

Mr. Thompson, Langley is on the phone. That additional 60 billion hasn’t been approved. You’ll have to make cuts.

“facing dates with the axman, a source says”

This is extra delicious considering cnn is notorious for the despicable practice of citing “anonymous sources” to spread misinformation and out and out lies

Megyn is her own boss and controls all content. Why would any successful YouTube/Podcast person want to work for a dying industry.

....for her breakdown of the legalese and word salad and whispering going on in McAfee’s courtroom I watched Megyn Kelly and her quests. They did a really good job. This, even though it took me a while to get over my disdain for Kelly.

She’s either a good faker or she’s turned into quite the conservative! I think three kids and growing up (51 years old) can probably account for that. Plus, you gotta admit she’s still easy on the eyes.

Imagine this: CNN picking up Tucker Carlson. It would skyrocket CNN’s ratings and make leftists’ heads explode. And it might even scare Fox back to the right, or else they could die in the middle run by the Mini-Murdochs.

Cooper’s face keeps showing up on magazines at the supermarket, so he probably has some kind of following by now. The other guys are expendable. But the pool the replacements would come from is mostly just the same kind of “journalists,” so not much would change.

Should Trump kick them when they’re down? How can he resist?

A good time to drive home the fake news charge. Heh heh.
